Default Opinions Needed-Removed Chrome Side Steps

Finally removed my chrome sidesteps and am looking to replace them with new side armor or steps. I like the look of Smittybilts XRC and SRC but would be open to other options.

Any pics to go with the request would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks fellas.

X2 triple protection. Tha ace's are good for the price and bolted right on. The smiths are good too but I've put a couple on and they never lined up and required tweaking.

You won't regret it. I ran my ACE on my 07 Sahara and now on my 13 Rubicon with the Rubi rails. What a sweet combo.

Also, what's my best bet since I don't have Rubi Rock rails? I know it will look a little off without them. Should I add Smittybilt Rock Rails? They will both fit?

I ran the ACE all by themselves on my 07. It looked fine.
